Snifit (Super Mario 64)
Template:Species-infobox Snufits[1], also known as Sniffits[2], are ghost-like cousins of Snifits.
They appear in Hazy Maze Cave, specifically Behind the Waterfall, in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. When Mario comes close to one, it will shoot a burst of small bullets out of its mouth like a Snifit, although this action is preceded by briefly swelling up like a balloon before firing in Super Mario 64. Snufits can be defeated by jumping on them. In their original appearance, Snufits had white masks like Shy Guys and were round like Boos, while in Super Mario 64 DS, their design was more faithful to the black-masked Snifits, save for the lack of legs and ability to float, which is the same in both versions of the game. Their shape was also more like the regular Snifit design, thus resembling a Boo Guy.
In Mario Party 2 on the Space Land board, the members of the Snifit Patrol bear resemblance to Snufits; however, their lower bodies are obscured by their vehicles, so it is ambiguous as to which species they actually belong to.
